[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have participated in several sports on competitive teams. Wrestling requires the most conditioning (based on my experience), then American football, followed by competitive distance running, then soccer (I was a center midfielder.)[/quote]

Wrestling careers are quite short.

Soccer careers can last over 20 years. 
That does not even include their youth, grammar  school and collegiate playing years.[/quote]

You are supporting my point that soccer is not as demanding a sport as wrestling or as American football. Almost anyone can play soccer. Even those soccer players who engage in intense competition can last decades in the sport because it doesn't require the extreme conditioning and use of one's body as do wrestling, American football, or water polo among other sports.

Lots of unknowledgeable comments about American football on this thread.

Regardless, all athletes--regardless of the sport or the intensity of one's competition--deserve praise and admiration.

I wish that I was more excited about World Cup soccer, but--even as a former soccer player--I prefer to watch other sports more than I do soccer. Different strokes for different folks.[/quote]
